Farewell and Adieu!
So ends the Oracle of War Eberron campaign for the D&D
Adventurers League. It’s been a long journey! When Chris
Lindsay pitched the idea to myself and Shawn Merwin,
early in 2019, I had no idea what I was letting myself in for,
but I knew it had to be done! Like all great quests, it’s had
its testing times and its moments of triumph, but it’s been
a hell of a ride overall. I hope it’s brought you and your
friends as much fun as we had writing it!
My goal with this campaign was to show new players a
little bit of everything Eberron has to offer, but above all,
to present a series of pulp adventures that showed real
variety. Our wonderful authors delivered the goods on
every level, and for that, I thank all of them.
But there are others without whom this campaign
would have floundered; Ashley Michaela Lawson—our
Navigator—whose editing skills are exemplary; Shawn
Merwin, the wise wizard who laid down the laws of
the campaign; our fearless leaders Chris Lindsay and
Chris Tulach; and all the other Adventurers League
administrators, notably Claire Hoffman, Amy Lynn Dzura,
and Alan Patrick, without whom nothing would have got
done on time.

Flames of War
Summary
Flames of War is a four-part storyline that concludes the Oracle of War campaign. The Five Nations unite to wrest the
floating fortress Argonth back from the Lord of Blades and prevent the renegade warforged from seizing control of a
House Cannith creation forge..
The Story So Far

In the ruins of the Mournland, you recovered a strange device, the Oracle of War. This artifact had the power to provide
tactical advice, but soon malfunctioned and revealed a verse from the Draconic Prophecy. In Breland, you met the
sphinx Flamewind and the orphan thief Sky Blue—and learned the Oracle’s prophecies were starting to come true.
Returning to the Mournland, you sought out Sulring Mroranon, creator of the Oracle of War. You discovered the
Lord of Blades had captured him and forced him to craft a new device, the Oracle of Bones. You rescued Sulring from
captivity, but the Brelish flying fortress Argonth was lost during the battle.
Brought before the Institute of the Twelve, the Oracle revealed a new prophecy that indicated the Lord of Blades
was now a direct threat to Khorvaire. Sulring Mroranon revealed he had received assistance from the Order of the
Emerald Claw to craft the Oracle of Bones. You captured one of the Emerald Claw’s commanders and learned the
Lord of Blades had traded him a map to the ruins of a daelkyr sanctuary deep below Metrol. Before you could act on
this information, agents of the Undying Court awakened elven sleeper agents across the continent in a deadly move to
seize control of the Oracle of War.
As Khorvaire reeled from the attack, you returned to the Mournland to seek out the daelkyr sanctuary. Learning
that the Emerald Claw were damaging the sanctuary’s Gatekeeper seal, you traveled to the Mror Holds and the
Talenta Plains and acquired the magical means to restore the seal and foil the order’s plans before they could
accidentally wake the daelkyr Valaara. Interrogating their leader, you learned the Lord of Blades is hunting for a
secret government facility in the ruins of Making. It’s time to put a stop to him for good.
Objectives
Your goals in Flames of War are as follows:
1. Locate the whereabouts of the secret facility in Making.

2. Lead the alliance into the Mournland to defeat the Lord of Blades and destroy the Oracle of Bones.
The Oracle of War

The Oracle of War is a large, beautifully stained wood chest, set with cogs and gears. It’s three feet wide, two feet
deep, three-and-a-half feet tall, and weighs 200 lb. Once per day, you can spend 1 minute feeding the device battlefield
information to make a DC 10 Wisdom (Insight or Perception) group check. On a success, the Oracle provides tactical
advice to aid your party in combat. Each adventurer in your group
chooses one of the following benefits, which lasts for 1 hour or
until used. These benefits only affect you if you remain within
500 feet of the location where you used the Oracle of War.
• You gain surprise at the start of your next combat.
During that combat, you have advantage on Dexterity
(Stealth) checks.
• You can turn one hit from a weapon attack into a
critical hit.
• For 1 minute, you ignore a single creature’s
damage resistances and immunities.
• You gain 10 temporary hit points.
